How many bu$h-loving, repug businesspeople hire illegals for cheap labor?
If the work was not available and being offered to them, they would not come.

I know a dude with a construction company that loves to hire illegals for the lesser wages he'd have to pay. "Saves me a ton a money", he tells me.

And this guy still has a "W,04" bumpersticker on his truck.

2. I'm in San Diego and this is common practice.
They complain that Mexicans are crossing the border illegally and causing crime, taking Murikan jobs...blah, blah, blah...
But they hire them at the drop of the hat.

3. Mitt the Shitt Romney, who starved Massachusetts of proper police and public
services (he did put the state police on sic'ing illegals there for a bit, though) and left us with a brand new GANG problem, used illegal workers to groom the lawn and landscape of the Belmont home he RARELY lived in. He was much too busy up in his New Hampshire vacation home, where he spent most of his time.

5. Yeah. Let's bash those damned Mexicans!
Edited on Mon Apr-09-07 12:58 PM by Matamoros
All of America's problems are from us Mexicans.
Should I go back home?

Maybe you can put me and my wetback Mexican family into cattle cars and ship us back.

Open season on Mexicans at DU.

Adios amigos, he tenido basta hoy.

15. You don't understand
to be brown and attract the frown of the white man.

I know where this is going.
Nativism. The national sport.

19. Well, you're wrong about DU. Many here are on your side
in THIS issue, including me. I grew up in Arizona and fully realize how badly non-natives are treated in America. I find it very sad to see see how quickly some are to swallow the mainstream media's latest "flavor" of kool-aid - the hate of illegals (but only the brown ones), and they will also jump on the media's bandwagon to incarcerate them in the new facilities being built for this and other purposes.
It may be the new national sport, but it is not one in which I will ever engage.

Sad thing is, all us white people are ancestors of the first illegals - the "Puritans".

12. Its the Hypocrisy my friend.
Please try to see that.
As far as I'm concerned, the economy of CA would suffer severly without the labor force, illegal or not, from Mexico.

I'm saying that they wrap themselves in the flag with their Anglo-pride and bash immigrants. But they turn around and employ them to save money.

7. the poor conflicted pukes are torn between two if their basic tenets -
greed and racism. What to do? What to do?

I would say that greed wins out.

So, the answer is - practically all of them.

8. Both Dems and GOPs are hypocrites
when they hire illegally. I know a Republican who used to go on and on about how horrible illegal immigrants were, then he turns right around and hires some to do his yardwork. When I asked him about it he made some bullshit excuse and changed the subject.

16. I would guess about 90% of Bush supporters approve the use of illegal or undocumented
workers because it saves labor costs.

17. Well Tucker just admitted on MSRNC that very fact. He said that republican party "elites" favor
illegal workers because they like cheap labor. :yoiks:

18. My niece's husband, in Phoenix
he has a landscaping business.

He says he won't hire Americans because one stole from him once :eyes:

His housekeeper isn't here legally either.

I'm tempted to report him, but would it do any good? Plus, I don't need to be the one to start a shitstorm in the family...

20. I live in Phoenix, seems like all the assholes do.
When i was canvassing for the Dems this last election, I would go into whole neighborhoods with very minimal Dem presence, but you always noticed the Mexican yard crews doing the yards of all the good repugs in the neighborhood, and I could just imagine the conversations taht family has round the dinner table.

Im sure even the fucking Minutemen get their palm trees done by Mexicans, Ive never seen a state not do its own yardwork so much.
